High Tide Inc (TSXV:HITI), a pot-focused retailer, debuted on the New York-based Nasdaq Exchange on Wednesday, June 2. Currently, its stocks are trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture (TSXV) in Canada, holding year-to-date (YTD) returns of 198 per cent.

The Alberta-based cannabis company’s shares will trade under the ticker ‘HITI’ on NASDAQ. Investors in the US might show a keen interest in this pot stock in the light of an expected nationwide legalization of recreational marijuana products.

A day before its listing, High Tide’s over-the-counter market shares (HITI:US, OTCQB:HITI) climbed more than seven per cent on Tuesday. This indicates that US-based investors may already be showing some interest in this pot stock, which could be an impetus for the upcoming IPO.

The pot distributor combined with marijuana supplier Meta Growth Corp to build one of the top pot supply chains of Canada.

Its operations are likely to get boosted across the growing cannabis marketplaces in Canada and the US, guided by the upcoming listing. Thus, the company could grow in line with its rivals Tilray (TSX:TLRY) and Canopy Growth (TSX:WEED).

The above constitutes a preliminary view and any interest in stocks should be evaluated further from investment point of view.
